Thank God for the passage of legislation banning abortion for babies older than 20 weeks gestation. Thank God for all the pro-life members of Congress. Pray that the Senate will pass this bill, which President Trump promises to sign.

[F]or everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. (1 Jn 5:4)

“The U.S. House voted 237 to 189 today to ban most abortions after 20 weeks, when the pre-born baby can feel pain.

The United States is one of seven countries with no federal limits on late-term abortion. Abortion throughout all nine months of pregnancy for any reason is legal in many parts of the country.

The bill, the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, was sponsored by strongly pro-life Rep. Trent Franks, R-AZ.

Two Republicans voted against the bill. Three Democrats voted for it.

Similar legislation passed the U.S. House in 2013 and 2015. It’s never passed the U.S. Senate.

The bill contains rape and incest exceptions. For an abortion to take place, the abortionist must file a medical report with a state or federal agency saying an act of rape or incest conceived the child.

At 20 weeks – halfway through pregnancy – an unborn baby is the size of a small cantaloupe. Mothers can feel their babies kicking. When they are operated on in the womb at this age, it’s standard medical practice to give the babies anesthesia. . . Marjorie Dannenfelser, the President of the Susan B. Anthony List, said she spoke with Trump last week and that he considers signing this legislation ‘high priority.’ One of Trump’s campaign promises was to sign the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act into law.

Rep. Mia Love, R-UT, pointed out ‘some of the double standards that we have in this country.’

Killing a pregnant woman is considered double homicide, but abortion isn’t considered murder, she noted.

 ‘This begs the question – when does the unborn have a right to protection just like their mother?’ asked Love. . .

In advocating for the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, SBA List has called attention to Micah Pickering, who was born at 22 weeks and four days. He’s now a healthy five-year-old boy. Some Republicans called H.R. 36 ‘Micah’s Law’ on the House floor.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, in 2013 there were at least 5,770 late-term abortions on babies older than 20 weeks.” (Excerpted from Life Site News, reporting by Claire Chretien.)

I thank the Lord for this victory in the US House of Reps. and ask for the same success in the US Senate. I ask for God’s grace will continue to be given to Rep Trent Frank and others who tiredlessly fight for the bill to come to law. I also pray against any and every form of persecution against this bills supporter and president Trump who has vow to sign this bill to law.

Thank you Father for saving our children! This is one of many victories we will see for this item.

PTL!

I really don’t see where this is a victory 20 weeks that is 5 months and I promise a child starts feeling pain way before that. This is one of the first things to develop during the embryonic stage. This means your baby’s brain, spinal cord and nerves form during this stage. Heart . An S-shaped tube forms on the front of the embryo. Woman can feel the heart beat at 6 weeks and to me when you stop the heart you have committed murder. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMeMAv_v-xs check it out Abortion is MURDER and all who has allow it and say there is nothing wrong with it will stand before God. 20 weeks is way to long to have abortion and it should not be allow any way. Wade VS ROE is crap what does the word of GOD say thy shall not murder. It Gives women and men licenses to sin and commit adultery and fornication and have all kinds of fun at the baby expense we need to go to a Muslim country and I promise this crap would end. ABORTION IS MURDER CALL IT ANYTHING YOU WANT AND ALL WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FROM 1973 UNTIL NOW.

Thank you Lord that this bill passed in the House of Representatives.
I Pray that the Republicans in Senate will nuke the 60 vote fillerbuster rule so that it passes the Senate, for our President has promised to sign it.
Lord, may dreams of babies being torn apart visit every Senator that plans on voting no on this bill. It is you that give them life, it is you that have given life to these babies. Please rid our land of their innocent blood, and forgive us for not doing our job as salt and light as you told us to. I plead the blood of Jesus over every baby in his/her Mother’s womb. In Jesus name, Amen

May The God of all creation bless this bill that will go to a vote for the least of our brothers & sisters May God bring success to the works of their hands. May The Holy Ghost be upon all those Senators to take pity upon the Pre-Born babies in their mother’s wombs.”Let the little children come to me.” say est The Lord.

We thank you Father for this victory in the House. Now I declare this same victory in the Senate. Move upon the hearts of all Senators to understand and value and choose Life for these little ones, your precious creations, who have no voice. Put a supernatural love in each Senator’s heart for these babies waiting to be born. You are so good and indeed you are a good good Father who is moved by His children’s requests.

Yes, Lord! Thank you for this first step towards a victory regarding abortion. We stand in agreement that you will bring about your purposes and take away the legality of murder, even if only after 20 weeks. We want to see You be glorified as well as hear frequent testimonies of your healing work in the lives of women and men that have had, encouraged, or supported abortion. We thank you and praise you that you have and are doing your healing work. I’m Jesus Name, amen.
